Names (HEX)
I would like to have a couple of things cleared up By someone from Nova before I start bitching. On hexed names, Are you banning them from the public servers? If so why? Or is this strictly for the use of Nova servers?
I have been gaming in the Nova community since F22 Raptor came out. I have used the Hexed name I currently use since that time. I have had the *I**ronKnights squad since that time. It is Who I Am. It is who our squad members are. People know me by my hexed name. They no my squad by the same. This is an Identity built over many many years. It is also an Identity built on thousands of dollars spent to build our servers to be the best they can be. It is born out of a true love of the gaming experiance and the community it supports. It's our Identity in our community. I for one do not want to lose this Identity, nor does anyone in our squad. I will tell you that to stop cheaters you must simply ban them from a server. That is the only way to get across to them. If you waste your time and money at Nova to chase cheaters then you will lose, our entire community will lose. What you must do is patch what is known and spend your effort and money on fixing glitches, creating new games and building better servers and pipes. Our job in the community is to support you by banning cheaters from our servers.
I do not see how changing names to standard lettering will prevent cheats. In fact how will you determine this at all? Players who have mastered the games by playing often, creating maps and taking the time to understand the game are often called cheaters. They simply understand the game better and play more. If you will ban players based on reporting from other players then the best players are in for a very tough road ahead. I have supported Nova for many years and simply believe that taking away our ability to create an identity takes away from the whole Nova experiance. I shall now shut up sit back and watch.
Sincerely,
